[...] Republican cover was exactly the reason why John McCain was summoned to Washington; Paulson, Reid, and Pelosi surmised (not unreasonably) that McCain was the only one who could deliver the House GOP. What nobody saw coming was that John McCain wouldn’t try to woo them over to a compromise with Treasury and the Democrats, but rather the other way around. McCain didn’t endorse any plan, but was adamant that there were elements of the House GOP plan that covered crucial shortcomings in the Treasury/Democrat plan. What apparently touched this off was, as the McCain campaign tells it, was when the Democrats pretty much handed over their negotiation power to Barack Obama, letting him speak for them (to my knowledge, no one on the Obama campaign has countered this account). Letting Sen. Obama run their show caused much indignation in everyone else at the meeting, and the whole summit devolved into a “shouting match,” my nominee for the most popular metaphor in the news during the last twelve hours. Sen. McCain decided that the Treasury plan didn’t have “the confidence of the American people” (no lie there), and House GOP support remained out of reach. Ergo, no deal, and Dems point the finger GOP-ward. [...]

I got it! Send Sara Palin to debate Obama, put it on Pay-per-view and use that to fund the bail out.

I wonder if the rebel Republicans who are trying to stop the bailout are the same ones who tried to shame Comrade Pelosky into allowing a vote on the energy bill?

On the economic note, I’ve been living in the UK for the past two months and can tell you that the US economy, in the state it’s in right now, is far better off than the UK economy. I’m headed to France this weekend and I expect to find the same thing (keep in mind France has a semi-nationalized system).

I think what is ignored by everyone except Newt and Putin is tht the nations that buy oil are quickly disintegrating as the nations that produce oil are thriving.

It is a Majority Democrat Congress.

If they can’t get a bill through the fault lies with the majority. Nuff Said

Palin says to Katie, “I’ll get back to you”.

I watched Sarah’s body language during that clip. Sarah looked sacastic, and Katie didn’t get it. Watch the tone of her voice when she says it. Sarah’s no dummy. Watch out Biden!

WAIT! WAIT!

Our friends in Congress don’t actually know what to do yet – the polls are clear.

You don’t expect them to actually LEAD, do you?

How funny it will be if the polls indicate that even 51% of Americans don’t trust the bailout. Then it won’t be McCain’s fault that the talks stalled. No, then it will be Oschleprock who “saved things.”

Even in these days of failures, you can bank on that…

Just wait. The Dems will announce tomorrow that Odhimmi, in true messiah-like fashion, came in and saved the day.

You would think that someone with Obam-uh’s super amazing community organizing skillz could help reorganize the financial markets…but you’d be wrong.
